Transfer Pricing

Defensible transfer pricing policies, documentation, and benchmarking for multinational groups.

Overview

What we deliver

We design intercompany pricing, prepare master and local files, and benchmark transactions so your policies hold up with the IRS, HMRC, CRA, and ATO.

Intercompany pricing is one of the most reviewed areas in any multinational. We help groups set arm’s length policies, prepare the documentation expected under the OECD framework, and align finance, tax, and operations on how value flows between entities. Our team handles functional analyses, comparable searches, and the master file, local file, and country-by-country reports required across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. We also support advance pricing agreements, year-end true-ups, and revenue authority queries. Policies are written in plain language and linked back to the underlying contracts, ledgers, and forecasts, so finance teams can apply them without guessing. Whether you are setting up your first intercompany flow or refreshing an aging study, we deliver documentation that stands on its own. Book a Call to review your current transfer pricing posture.

Client stories

What clients say

"

We had 14 cornerstone pages stuck on page two for 18 months. Their SEO crew rewrote the internal linking, cleaned up our schema, and shipped 22 supporting briefs over a quarter. Eight of those pages broke top three by month five. Organic pipeline went from a trickle to our second-largest source. Felt like watching interest compound.

My books were 90 days behind and I was avoiding my accountant. They cleaned up nine months of mis-categorized Shopify and Stripe entries, set up proper rules in QuickBooks, and now my close lands on day four of every month. First time in three years I opened a P&L without wincing. Cash forecasting actually makes sense now.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most.

Do you follow OECD guidelines?
Yes. Our documentation aligns with OECD BEPS Action 13 and the local rules in each jurisdiction we cover.
Can you support a revenue authority review?
We respond to IRS, HMRC, CRA, and ATO information requests, prepare defense files, and join meetings with your advisors.
How often should benchmarking be refreshed?
Most groups refresh financial data annually and run a full comparable search every three years, unless the business changes materially.
Do you draft intercompany agreements?
Yes. We draft service, license, distribution, and financing agreements that match the pricing policy and underlying facts.
What if we have no documentation today?
We start with a risk review, prioritize the most material flows, and build documentation in phases so you are protected quickly.
